D&T

What D&T does

D&T Inc is a privately held Korean custom display manufacturer founded in 1999 in Daejeon, South Korea, that designs and produces tailor-made display hardware for specialized vertical markets rather than commodity consumer displays. The company originated as an outsourced R&D service provider to LG and Samsung, founded by engineers who began their careers in Samsung's display division, before expanding into display production after winning an IBM 17-inch rack-mounted LCD server display project in 2003. Today D&T employs 251-500 people, including 34 engineers split across mechanical, hardware, and firmware/software teams, with most manufacturing staff exceeding 10 years of tenure.

D&T's product portfolio spans eight vertical markets: Medical (surgical, endoscopy, ultrasound, diagnostic, and telemedicine displays with REC709 calibration and optical bonding); Gaming and Casino (main, topper, button deck, and electronic table game displays including curved, OLED, and LED-tile deco formats); Air Traffic Control (primary, tower, and auxiliary monitors with Sony DDM compatibility); Marine (ECDIS and radar displays); Ruggedized (military and industrial IP-rated units); Kiosk and Signage; Interactive Flat Panel Displays for education; and Energy Storage charging hardware. Core technical differentiators include 7+ years of optical bonding expertise, proprietary curved display manufacturing (J-Curve, S-Curve, C-Curve), OLED integration, narrow-bezel multi-panel configurations, haptic button decks, and Sony DDM interoperability for ATC. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 13485 (medical devices), and ISO 14001 certifications and adheres to RoHS and REACH directives.

D&T operates as a B2B OEM/ODM manufacturer selling customized, quote-based display solutions through direct enterprise sales to OEMs and system integrators. Its GTM combines a technically-minded field sales team, a dedicated U.S. presence (D&T USA, Managing Director TK Park), and sustained annual participation at the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) in Las Vegas. Notable multi-program relationships include IBM (2003), Tandberg (2006-2007), Cisco (2008, 2014), and Prowise (2017), and the company was recognized by the Korean government for exceeding $30M in exports in 2009 and $50M in exports in 2015. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; revenue is generated through customized hardware sales rather than licensing or subscription models.
